From serene heights, far above
the dut and turmoil of party politics,
the NEWSj has calmh- looked over
th.
array of names submitted to the
oters at the coming election, and
the above is about the cream of the
lot.
The first dut y of tho citizens of
II iwnii at the coming election is to
select those best fitted to advance
the interests of the Islands, and for
that reason Hon. Samuel Pm-knr
hould undoubtedly be sent to Con
gress.
It is practically admitted that YYil-
ox would not bo able to accomplish
very much for us in Conm-ess.
wooden man would accomplish
juite as much us he. It is probable
that the next congress will be repub
lican, and that McKinloy will bo
elected. In that case no one would
for a moment arsruo that Hon Dnv.
id Kawananakoa would have tlm im'
fluenco or be ablo to accomplish a's
much in congress as Mr. Parkor. (
It may be urgod that in case the
democrats have a majority in Con
gress it would be better to send Mr.
Kawananakoa, That is doubtful for
iu that case, the prince if elected,
would probably be called upon to ac
complish tho impossible and would
waste the time which should be used
m promoting the interests of the -Islands,
in visionary political schemes.
This is a plain, practical, business
view of the congressional situation,
and, politics aside, probably, not one
man in ten wotihTquestion its sound
ness. '
Precisely the same motive has sug
gested the selection of the above leg
islative ticket. If H. P. Tfoldwin
were a poop man today, but were en
dowed with the sterling mialitiis of
head and hoart which bo possesses,
and cquippod with practical experi.
enoe in public affairs as ho is, there is
no doubt but tl at he would lead the
whole ticket. True, he i possessed
ot millions, but he has proved a wise
and generous steward, and it is ad
mittedly true, as his past actions
have proved, that there is not a
man so poor or mean, on Maui who
may not tr-.:st Mr. Baldwin to repre
sent him in tho legislature.
Juage A. N. Kepoikai Ls a man of
fine nutural abilities, cultured, and
possesses a ripe experience in legis
lative affairs.
New laws aro to be made, suitable
to our new conditions. By birth and
education. Judge Kepoikai is pecu
liarly fitted to grasp our' social stat
us in its entirety' aud his knowledge
of law and of men will render his ser
vices Invaluable to us In the next
legislature.
Col. W. H. Cornwcll Is an old res
ident of tho Islands, who has been in
timately acquainted with their inner
history, through close contact with
the powers that be aud have been,
for many years past.
n accomplished parliamentarian
a skilled legislator and thoroughly
imbued with the new conditions and
needs of Hawaii nei, his udvico and
assistance In the next legislature
should go far to launch tlie Territory
successfully on its new era of Amer
lean prosperity.
It is with a fueling of regret that
tho name of Mr. T. B. Lyons is lelt
off our senatorial roll, for there I.
is not a more popular or deserving
young man on the Island of Maui
than Mr. Lyons. Had he been on the
representative instead of the senato
rial list, ho would have received the
support of this paper, but so much
is at stake in the legislative work
ahead, that the senators should be
ttrni of much experUni'oiu legislative
rorl. ,
Mr. Lyons is a ris'ng young man
and in the years to' coine, we" hi' lie
io nave ine minor oi supporting t.iri j
ior any onice wnicii ni.-t e:;p.':-:c:i
yet to bo gained, may en!itl bi n.
Mr. Thomas Clark IhhIsh a can-lid-ate
for senator, However, he inform
ed the NEWS man thiit his ambit inn
is to gain the independence of the Is
lands. Upon being questioned fur
ther, he declined to state whotlier
he would rmtoro tlie queen hi
establish a new republic when he
made the Islands an independent
sovereignty, consequently we ivluc.
tantly left Thoimu off our list.
For representatives, the. ulxivc
list tells its ewn tory. John Rlohard
son and George Hons are lawyers,
and their services will be needed on the
judiciary committee. Mr Richardson
is a man of laro oxperiencc and
broad culture, and, understanding as
lie does that a new order of things
has coine to stay, lie will be helpful
i.j the. next legislature. Mr. Hons
one of the brightest men on the 1 -lund.
and by nature and education N
peculiarly fitted to do good work for
Maui and fo'r the territory. He is or e
of those men. in fact, whose dvfe it
would le a positive calamity to the
Islands. '
C. H. Dickey sho -ld by all
be sent to the legislature, as
means
he on-
doubtedly will. One of the most " se
rious questions for ,the next legisla
ture to decide will be flic -in a tier of
taxation, and Mr. Dickey is an ex
pert whose. services will bo needed
hi that direction.
J. Hapai Nuj is nn able, honest ntvl
capable man, whose work in the
egislature will be needed.
It is said that he way uppt'oaohed by
the republicans, but pi'iforwd ti
run on the democratic ticket. Tliv
(inly moral which Is to bo drawn from
this is that he Is a man in whom all
parties can trust, and that is lite
kind of nion wo want. Hon. F. I I.
Rayselden, who will probably be t -
looted, will be a valuable man in tho
legislature. He is closely in touch
with the inner life of the Islands, and
by experience und education will
be ablo. to do good work In tho next
legislature., -
Conscious of the rectitude of our
intentions, wo submit the above iist
to the. consideration of the voters of
Maui, honestly believing that in the
hands of such .men, the intero.-ts of
the Territory will be best subserved

beyond a doubt that Lahninn will

over the bier of the Hawaiian sugar
industry, if tho Philippines are jield
becomes a funny farce comedy In
view 'of 'the fact that ono'of the
Democratic foundation principles is
free trade' with all foreign cquntries.
As regards sugar, tliu Democratic
plan is to allow the sugars not 'only
of the l'hilipplnes and t iua to go
on the American market free of
duty but they would also Include
the sugars of Germany, Austria and
every other nation producing Peel
sugar or cano sugar throughout the
world. This Is the Democratic dm
trine and has been for tlie last forty
years. This party proposes to wipe
